- Wait a minute, ne.* is "New England", not Northeast, only people who
- report the weather ever refer to the "Northeast" of the US and then
- it's only because they don't have time to give a real report. Kinda
- like CNN weather reports: Northeast fair, cooler in the midwest, some
- rain out the west, entertainment news coming up next.
-
- Oh and I guess also people who involved with Northeastern University,
- kind of a vague name if you ask me, but no one did of course.
-
- As to Nebraska, who cares? Anyone remember the fighting over la.*
- between the Los Angeles bunch and the Louisiana bunch? Not sure how
- that turned out, I am sure I care even less.
